Ingredients

2 servings
  • 4 oz 1 small haas avocado
  • 1/4 cup diced tomato
  • 2 tablespoon diced red onion
  • 2 teaspoon lime juice
  • 2 teaspoon chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • fresh black pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons light sour cream (thinned with 1 teaspoon fat-free milk)
  • 6 large sea scallops ((8 ounces total) side muscle removed, rinsed and pat dry)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 large corn tostada shells*
  • *Read labels for gluten-free.

Steps

  1. Mash the avocado in a small bowl with the tomato, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, pepper to taste.

  2. Season scallops with salt and black pepper. Add the butter and oil to a 12-inch skillet on high heat.  Once the butter begins to smoke, gently add the scallops, making sure they are not touching each other. Sear the scallops for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. The scallops should have a 1/4-inch golden crust on each side while still being translucent in the center.

  3. Spoon the guacamole onto the tostada, top with scallops and drizzle with sour cream.
